About Us

It is an honour and privilege that we have opened our doors to serve the residents of Niagara. As a Class 1- Licensed Funeral Establishment, we can help arrange and provide cremation, entombment or burial services, as well as help plan a unique Celebration of Life tailored to your beliefs and wishes; in a sentimental space that will perfectly reflect the individual’s life! At Essentials Cremation and Burial Services, we will always be committed to providing “service above self”, to every family and family member. Our promise to you is that your needs will always be met. You and your loved ones will be looked after with great care, honour and respect. Our core purpose is to always serve the community in any way possible. 

If it is your wish to have a simple cremation service, or perhaps you want to plan on having a Celebration of Life, we are here to provide support, and help keep costs practical and affordable. In addition to our standard services and for those environmentally conscious, ask us more about our Green Burial initiatives!

Feel free to browse our website to learn more about our services, pre-planning options. You can also access a variety of resources and bereavement support that are available to comfort, educate and provide you with assistance. 

We invite and encourage family and friends to use our interactive online tributes. A personal memorial page will be created for your loved one and will allow an opportunity for family and friends to share and communicate important service details, read the obituary, offer condolences, reflect on memories, post photos, order flowers, and more.  

If you have any questions, please contact us by phone, e-mail or drop by the office in person. We are here for you regardless of the hour and are honoured to provide you and your family with high standard essential services.

Yours truly,

Krystal Riddell  

Owner/Funeral Director
